ONLY COOK SHACK STANDS Work of Digging for Bodies at Wel lington Continues All Trace of ; Mall Car and Seven Men Is Obliterated. SEATTLE, March 4. Six laborers are J reported to have been killed by an ava- lanche that destroyed Cascade, a small station east of the Cascade tunnel. , The report -was brought to Seattle by Ed Clark, a section man who has been -working in the mountains. He said that lie walked through Cascade this morning and that everything had been wiped out t but a cook shack. Two men at the scene told him of the death of the six laborers, whose names are not known, c The Great Northern has received no re port of an avalanche at Cascade, but it ;is known that several bad slides have occurred on the east slope of the moun , tains1. All communication with that eec-"- tion has been cut off. The searchers are working In the day , time only. The Great Northern Railroad today sent in 15 Alaskan sleds, on which the bodies will be taken to a train at Skykomish, to be carried to Everett and ; Seattle. All the railroad men's homes are at Everett. - Donald Cameron Gilmore, fire- man, aged 32, whose body has been re covered, was formerly a West Point ca ' let, and his mother is a prominent resi dent of Santa Barbara, Cal. Edgar Leramon, of Hunters. Wash., whose body and that of his wife have been found, was formerly one of the leading attorneys . of Seattle, and has relatives and business connections in Walla Walla. All the wounded in the temporary hos pitals here are recovering. They will probably be taken to the big hotel at Scenic Hot Springs tomorrow. Of 700 sacks of mail carried away by , the avalanche, only 150 have been re covered. There is no trace whatever of one mail car and seven clerks and weigh ers. In some places cars are known to be under 70 feet of trees, snow, earth and rocks. The Great Northern is using all the re sources at its command to open the track. Every man and every plow that can find a place to work are busy night and day. Superintendent O'Neill estimates the actual loss to the road by destruction of i property at $1,000,000. The four electric motors now lying demolished under the Enow were valued at $250,000. The only salvage wreck will be of old metaU Cold rain and Increased fear of snow elides, added to the gloom of Welling ton today. Two bodies were sent down the trail, and the others, wrapped in blankets, are lying in a railroad building. Among the arrivals today were a nura- foer of friends and-relatives of victims, a few of them women. Every courtesy was shown to these anxious people, but they contributed nothing to the cheerfulness of the camp. The recovery of bodies will be slow until the locomotives arrive to pull away the giant trees, whoso trunks and branches are interlocked above the dead. The rain, falling on snow already packed so tight that a shovel will not . enter it, is turning It to ice. . The working force in the avalanche ruins now consists of 150 men. Ameri cans. Three of the Greek and Slavonian laborers stole clothing from the ruins, but they, did not actually rob the dead bodies. The misconduct of theee men aroused such indignation that the rail road sent all the 75 foreign laborers away. The corpse robber who was caught in the act of taking a watch from the body of Sol Cohen, of Everett, gave his name as Robert Roberts, to the' disgust of Deputy Sheriff John Roberts, who ar rested him. Superintendent O'Neill's private car, containing the bodies of Trainmaster A. R. Blackburn and Secretary A. E. Long coy, was found today. The body of Lewis Walker, cook on O'Neill's private car, has also been brought out. IRA JONES PASSES AWAY IMoneer iiawyer, Formerly of Port land, Dies in Oregon City. OREGON CITT.

Chicago Society Woman Con sents to Sale of Her Own Baby. PASTOR ADOPTS MAIDEN Advertisement In Denver Paper Leads to Revelation of Unnatural Action Oregon City Proud of Bright Youngster. OREGON CITY. Or., March 4. (Spe cial.) Sold by a Denver midwife for $25 HAYWOHTH. to a Delta. Colo., girl, little Elizabeth Hayworth, the foster daughter of Rev. and Mrs. S. A. Hayworth, of this city, has finally found a haven of refuge with this kindly minister and his wife, her legal adoption having been completed and a long contest ended. The child, who will be 3 years of age April 22 next, has an interesting life story for iier tender years. The daughter of a. Chicago society wo man, giving her name as Laura Page, which probably was assumed to hide her shame, the little girl was born in the Spring of 1907 at the house of a midwife at Denver. She had no known father and her unnatural mother hardened her heart against her child and refused to see the little, one. It was then That the midwife- inserted an advertisement in a Denver newspaper offering the child to any one who would provide a home for her. The advertisement failed to state that $25 would be demanded for the baby. Up at Delta, where Mr. Hayworth was then pastor of the Baptist Church, there was a young woman, Helen Compton. She was a cripple and was lonely and sought permission from her parents to go to Denver and secure from one of the orphanages a little child that would be a companion for her. This was resisted by Mrs. Compton, who was old and not in the best of health, and she realized that her daughter, because she was a cripple, should not be burdened with the care of a child. But the father of Miss Compton yielded and furnished the money for his daughter to go to Denver, where she visited the various baby homes, but failed to find a child who pleased her or suited her fancy.' Then It was that the newspaper adver tisement caught her eye and she made application to the midwife for the baby, who was even then a sweet and pretty child. The money was paid over, with the knowledge and consent of the baby's mother, and Genevieve Elizabeth Page, as she was called, was taken to Delta, Miss Compton reported that the child's mother was a woman of culture and re finement and that ehe stayed In Denver six weeks before returning to her home at Chicago. MIfs Compton's mother was a member of MrJ Hayworth's church and she con tinually suggested that the pastor and wife, who have no children of their own. take the child and provide a good home for her. , Mr. and Mrs. Hayworth saw the baby often and were captivated. The marriage of Miss Compton to a Los Angeles man brought matters to a crisis. She went away, leaving the child with her mother, who asked the Hayworths to relieve her of the care of the little one. Last Fall the minister accepted a call to the Oregon City Church and he brought his wife and the baby with him, and soon after their arrival they petitioned the County Court for let ters of adoption. Helen Compton, who Is now Mrs. Day, and who has returned from Los Angeles to Delta, filed a protest against the adop tion, but for some unknown reason she never followed up her antagonism and now the court has made an order per mitting Mr. and Mrs. Hayworth legally to adopt the baby, whose name Is now Elizabeth Hayworth. Under the training of her new mother the child is becoming noted iii Oregon City for her precocity. She recites from memory In words perfectly enunciated many of the Mother Goose rhymes and she also recites in distinct words "Twin kle, Twinkle, Little Star," "Little Grains of Sand." the first arid 23d Psalms and the Lord's Prayer. She gave the 23d Psalm before the entire Sunday school at the First Baptist Church. When the order for her adoption was made in the Courthouse she became an immediate favorite by her recital of the Lord's Prayer. With her eyes closed and her hands folded" in an attitude of prayer, several strong men were over come with emotion at the vision of pure lnnocenqe and childlike faith.

METHODS DISGUST THEM Attacks on University of Oregon Be cause Some Students Are Not Orthodox, and on . Taft for Vnitarianism Stir Trouble. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, March 4. (Special.) Corvallis ministers have canceled the contract of French E. Oliver, traveling evangelist, who was to have conducted a series of meetings there. The reason given, it Is understood, is disgust with the mud-sllnging methods employed by Mr. Oliver in his revivals. Much bitterness has been stirred up In Eugene after the violent attacks made on the University of Oregon .by the evan gelist because some of the students are not orthodox. There is disgust also be cause -of the slurs cast on President Taft for the sole reason that he is a Unitarian. Mr. Oliver was to have gone to Cor vallis for a month's series of meetings after finishing his work here. Mr. Oliver has been calling Taft a "worse infidel than Ingersoll," "a dis grace to the United States," and his re ligion Va cloak for the disciples of hell," while university students he has char acterized as "rotten as hell," "fools" and "scoundrels." This language from the pulpit, it is said, was more than the Corvallis ministers could 6tomach. They will get an evangelist of a different stamp. It is understood that some of the min isters here asked Mr. Oliver to be more calm In statements, especially in regard to the university, with which their re lations have been most friendly before the evangelist's attacks. Anyway, Mr. Oliver has been more temperate in his sermons the past few days. Thoiigh his coming was protested by more than half the men of the student body in a big petition against the action of the Y. M. O. A. in inviting him, Mr. Oliver spoke to some of the members of the Association in one of the college buildings tonight. Most of the students as well as many prominent Y. M. C. A. men boycotted the meeting. The preacher did not venture to talk on scientific sub jects, his versions of which have been laughed at by the students. DANGEHALL CONVERTED SEATTLE'S FAMOUS DREAMLAND BECOMES CHURCH "SUNDAY. Mike Fisher, Chafing Under Indict ment, Advertises Initial Service. Women Cause Trouble. SEATTLE. March 4. (Special.) Religious services in the big Dream land Rink, Mike Fisher's dancing- pa vilion, will begin next Sunday evening. The principal speaker will be Rev. F. E. Herthum, of the Georgetown Union Christian Church; there will be good music by a quartet, and probably a lit erary number or two. Rev. Mr. Her thum's subject will be "Prepare Amuse ments for the Young People." . Fisher, who has been chafing: under Mils indictment by the grand jury on a charge of having admitted minors to a public dance, has adopted the catch phrase "No Fay; No Plate," as por traying the character of the meetings 1 that is, no admission will be charged and no contributions received. Dreamland . will hold 3500 people. Fisher Is advertising the Initial ser vice, and he is sending invitations to prominent club women and others who have charged him with breaking the law. In all likelihood the hall will be crowded but the audience will be there not so. mich for religious instruc tion as' to voice a protest against the effort to close the dancehall without having provided a substitute where clerks, Bervant girls and employes in the shops may pass an evening to their liking. The club women have stirred up a hornets' nest among the servant girls, who have been deluging the newspa pers with letter of protest, asking- why something practical Is not done to aid the lowly and downtrodden; to provide higher wages for them, and to furnish a means of innocent amuse ment. Instead , of closing all the doors and driving the victims to the cafes. While Fisher is busy creating public sentiment in his behalf, the grand jury is becoming impatient at the club women who brought the charges against him. It has continued its ses sions because of a promise by the club women to furnish evidence that certain cafes were selling liquor to minors, and that the anti-cigarette law was being violated. The evidence has not yet come to light. Cigarettes, which disappeared a week ago, are again on sale and nobody pretends to obey the law. VESSEL FIGHTS BREAKERS Steamer Svea- Has Narrow Escape on Grays Harbor Bar. ABERDEEN, Wash.. March 4. (Spe cial.) Struggling in the" breakers on the Grays Harbor bar for more than two hours last night,- the steamer Svea, of the Wilson line. Captain Allen, bound from Aberdeen . to San Francisco with lumber, came within an ace of adding another maritime disaster to the Coast record. . . While the other vessels remained safely at their anchorages waiting for the storm to subside, the Svea steamed down the bay and ran for 'the bar and was soon in the midst of the smother of foam ing breakers. When the steamer felt the full force of the wind and met the heavy seas, she staggered and for many minutes was buffeted by seas so great that, despite every effort, she could not gain an inch. The life-saving crew was summoned and the surfboat made ready for instant use. Now and again blinding clouds of rain and fog shut 1he steamer from view and each time she reappeared many watch ers expected . to see her drifting ashore. Inch by inch, however, she flnaly nosed out of danger. Aberdeen Pastor Going to Tacoma. ABERDEEN, Wash.. March 4. (Spe cial.) Rev. E. R.
